Abstract

Chloroplasts play a pivotal role in the metabolism of leaf mesophyll cells, functioning as a cellular hub that orchestrates molecular reactions in response to environmental stimuli. These organelles contain complex protein machinery for energy conversion and are indispensable for essential metabolic pathways. Proteins located within the chloroplast envelope membranes facilitate bidirectional communication with the cell and connect essential pathways, thereby influencing acclimation processes to challenging environmental conditions such as temperature fluctuations and light intensity changes. Despite their importance, a comprehensive overview of the impact of envelope-located proteins during acclimation to environmental changes is lacking. Understanding the role of these proteins in acclimation processes could provide insights into enhancing stress tolerance under increasingly challenging environments. This review highlights the significance of envelope-located proteins in plant acclimation.
